Ciné-ONU, Brussels, 15th June "Moving to Mars"

United Nations in partnership with UNHCR and Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe invites you to the screening of

"MOVING TO MARS"
to commemorate World Refugee Day
on Wednesday 15 June, at 6:30 pm

Moving to Mars charts the epic journey made my two Burmese families from a vast refugee camp in the Thai/Burma border to their new homes in the UK. At times hilarious, at times emotional, their travels provide a fascinating and unique insight not only into the effects of migration, but also into one of the most important current political crises: Burma.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with:

Volker Gerdesmeier- Director of Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe
Melita Sunjic- UNHCR Brussels
Eleanor Dean- Production Assistant on the film, and now working for Refugee Action
with Carlos Jimenez from UNRIC as Moderator

The film is in English and Burmese with English subtitles and has a runtime of 90 min.
